Summarizing your skills, experience and abilities, the resume is a quick reference of what would be your potential contribution at B-university.  While some top Universities give you an indication of what details are required, others leave the organization and format to you.  Preferably your resume must be contained in a page. It’s a good idea to list educational and professional experiences in reverse chronology; beginning with the most current academic program / designation.  When you write about your professional experiences in bullet points mention your areas of responsibility.  And specifically mention any noteworthy contributions you have made brought to the organization. A resume which shows the progressive increase in responsibility, growth and maturity over the years will enable the admissions committee to gauge your potential fit with other B-university entrants and even estimate the probability of your successful placement post the MBA.

One way of indicating, to the reader, your potential would be to provide supporting factual data that qualifies your statement.  For instance, instead of stating ‘Managed teams at the head office’ state clearly ‘Lead a group of 3 associates to implement the --- project at the district level.’  Also, it is wise to have your information tie in with your future career path, defining the steps you have taken which lead to your final goal. 

A few guidelines on what the resume should cover:

• Name and Contact Information, including email address
• State an objective
• List your professional experiences, summer experiences and relevant internships.  It’s best that you begin with the most recent or current experience and then list previous experiences.   Provide information on the employer (the company) you work for, location, duration, your designation and your roles/ achievements. 
• Educational history with information on degrees completed/ in-process, certifications and professional courses.  Include any distinctions, honors earned
• Hobbies / Interests as relevant
